Large Deck Builders and Designers in Acton, Georgetown, and Milton

We are large deck builders and designers in the Acton area. Georgetown and Milton are obviously part of our service area. This large curved cedar deck was designed by Lawrence Winterburn. The design was created for a client that previously consulted with many other deck builders. He told us that we were the seventh company they spoke to and decided to work with us because of our unique approach to deck design. The very sloped site backing onto a golf course near Acton, (Georgetown Ontario), and natural looking landscape called for a unique deck design. The design had to showcase the spectacular views. These photos show phase one of this project–an adjoining pergola was part of the design and was delayed to be completed at a later time.

All large complex deck designs like this involve a professional designer. Drop by our 3D Deck Designs Gallery before you go!

Pre-finishing Decks

“These decks were pre-stained prior to being built.”

This curved deck was pre-finished with high-quality stain prior to building. It is rare to see curved decks to this level of finish. The decking and top of rails are done in a semi-transparent finish, and the verticals are done with a solid finish. When it comes time to refinish the decks you can just do the horizontal portions, rather than the entire deck. Curved rails rarely look this good. Built up posts at the main intersections help give a more substantial appearance to the deck. To show off the detail, they were stained an off-white color.

Pre-finishing decks help decks last longer. By sealing all 6 faces, the wood does not absorb water and remains dimensionally stable. This prevents cracking and peeling stain. To learn more about applying exterior stain on wood (click)
